comment
i have spent much of my life behind the
camera. raised in hawaii, i began my career
shooting surfers, friends and models. while living in california
i moved on to celebrities, musicians, ad campaigns and nature, shooting
color film exclusively. in the mid-1980's i re-discovered
black and white. since that time, i have been lucky enough
to be in the rare position of being able to sell my
vintage prints to collectors world wide.
generally, the images i enjoy creating are dark and
mysterious. although somewhat grainy in effect, this is
what interests me. my current projects include several more
photography books and Limited Edition portfolio's. i hope you enjoy
these images as much as i enjoyed creating them.

'skink'..? it's from the scincidae lizard family
i photographed him/her in my california backyard in 1976
